ABOUT US
WE HAVE BEEN BEHIND SOME OF THE BIGGEST SUSTAINABLE TEXTILE INNOVATIONS OF THE LAST 3 DECADES.
We launched first hemp programs for Adidas, Levi’s, Nike, Patagonia, VF and others. We were the first to bring organic linen, oilseed flax, oilseed hemp and RPET acrylic alternative textiles blends to major global retailers. We also invented Agraloop™, the 1st Prize winning technology in H&M Foundation’s Global Change Award, considered the “Nobel Prize of Sustainable Fashion.”
OUR DNA
WE ARE MATERIALS SCIENTISTS
We specialize in the research, development, commercialization and distribution of new generation circular materials.
Our focus is leveraging systems design thinking to convert agricultural, post industrial and post-consumer waste into new materials and products + designing systems to facilitate the new bioeconomy.
EMBRACE NATURE + PURSUE ABUNDANCE
We position our corporate strategy at the nexus of a equitable, economically abundant and environmentally sustainable world.
Our logos are variations of the Golden Ratio which often appears in nature and represents an infinite perfect ratio – Earth Protex leverages biomimicry in its product and systems designs.
